Overview

Uncompromised performance for all

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor (3.6 GHz / 4.2 GHz) is one of the first PC processors to be etched in 7 nm and to support the PCIe 4.0 interface. The third-generation Ryzen, codenamed Matisse, impresses with 6 cores and 12 threads, a base frequency of 3.6 GHz that can be increased to 4.2 GHz and 32 MB of L3 cache and only 65W of TDP!

AMD's Ryzen 5 3600 offers a (re)discovery of high-end performance for gaming, content creation and intensive multitasking. With its 12 threads and a 35MB GameCache, double the cache offered by the second generation Ryzen 5, it allows you to do EVERYTHING faster and more fluidly.

Zen 2 Microarchitecture

The Zen 2 cores are designed to make efficient use of available resources to optimise computational performance. Compared to the previous architecture, 2X floating point capabilities and up to 15% higher instructions per cycle enable performance to reach new thresholds. Zen 2 combines performance for next-generation applications with optimal energy efficiency.

6 native cores and 12 logical cores

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 desktop processor offers 6 native and 12 logical cores for smooth multitasking. Thanks to its high native frequency and its Turbo Core mode, the third-generation AMD Ryzen CPU delivers exceptional performance in gaming, intensive multitasking, video editing, 3D modeling and more. The 32MB L3 cache also enables ultra-fast processing of large numbers of instructions with low latency.

    Very good.

    I start with an intel 8700K ( yes knows old ^^ ), I was a little afraid that the perf is not at the rendezvous with this processor and well I follow not disappointed, apart from the fact that the processor AMD heats slightly more (I chipote my good ^^) it does all what I ask him especially games like baldur gate 3, conan, ark, etc..

    Super

    I'm going from an A10 5800K to the Ryzen 3600 so 5 stars :)
    Just, it was the same price with and without ventirad, so I took with (I did well because I could not put my old one) but it makes too much noise, I will have to change it quickly.
    So: good, but don't take the ventirad.
